Heart Notes

Base Notes

Created in 1996, Quercus declares itself with a light burst of citrus and basil, supported by a heart accord of jasmine, cardamom and muguet that is sweet, spiced and supremely delicate. The greenness of the basil persists into the surprisingly resilient musk and sandalwood base notes. These are warmed through with moss and patchouli to create elegant, strong and uplifting cologne. Named after the Latin for the British Oak, Quercus is a modern and invigorating cologne enjoyed by both men and women. .

Customer Reviews

With a warm, citrusy scent but devoid of any sharpness. Mellow yellow in a bottle with a gently spicy background . Not at all overpowering in the slightest. Subtle, uplifting yet discrete.

Evocative, Yet Distinctive

by Abigail

Sunshine. Light breeze. Laughter and lulling. The bright sparks of citrus demand the attention of all. This distinctive entrance is unlike anything one has ever smelt. However, out of this fragrance's bold, novel entrance, comes an evocative familiarity in its heart notes. The soft jasmine is like a gentle breath of wind on a hot day. The balmy scent will carry you far away into all those precious times of the past - and those to come. As the scent matures, its soothing base is a marvellous exit for this truly exquisite fragrance. Vividly intimate, I would recommend this scent to anyone your experience might not be the same as mine, but you will not be disappointed by Quercus.

Very Fresh, Very Distinctive, Long-Lasting….

by Burrell

Quercus is my favourite citrus fragrance of all time. It is very distinctive and when I wear it I often get compliments. On my skin the fragrance quite noticeably lasts for about 6 to 7 hours.
This is a citrus fragrance I will wear forever!

Perfectly Understated

by RMS

I fell in love with Quercus many years ago. It is light and refreshing, yet understated. It does not overpower others. Often people don't realize I'm wearing a fragrance until we embrace or are very close to each other. There is an intimacy about sharing your fragrance only with those close to you and not the whole office or restaurant. I always hear "You smell amazing!" and people linger giving an extra long hug or touch so they van explore the scent a little more. The whole line is fabulous. Get the liquid hand wash.

A Very Subtle Scent

by John Langston

I was given a tester sampling by my sister after one of her business trips to the UK. I have been using it for over 10 years and can now get the Cologne here in Vancouer, but when I come to the UK I always stock up on the other products I can't obtain here. I am coming to London on the 15th of May and my first shopping excursion will be to Pengaligan's in Covent Garden.

The Smell Of Happiness And Rainbows And First Summer Loves

by LMP

I stumbled upon this AMAZING scent while staying at the Mandarin Oriental in Singapore - they have the soaps in the public restrooms. As soon as I got home I purchased a bunch for me and a bunch for friends. No matter what kind of day I am having, a sniff of my hands after washing or moisturizing with Quercus makes me smile. It is not overtly masculine or feminine, it just smells like, well it smells like happiness on a beautiful spring day. Try it, you will fall in love, but out your local store, and then order more online!

Quercus - Lingers All Day

by F Edwards

This cologne is a memorable mix - at first the scent of lemon surrounds you and as time passes the aroma of sandalwood takes over. I have used this fragrance for years and now I believe Cunard have adopted it for their stateroom soap/shower gel/moisturiser range which will save me having to pack my regular supplies!
This fragrance is both for men and women - a wonderful all rounder.

A Scent That Keeps You Interested

by anonymous

Quercus is an elegant and sophisticated scent that has a depth to it that most scents do not have. The citrus head notes are replaced by jasmine and cardamon,before more woody tones come through. It is this depth that rises Quercus above the other citrus scents which you see. It is this depth that keeps me coming back and means that Quercus has remained a favorite in the years that I have worn it.

Top Choice From Penhaligons

by Jack

When you have true choice and yet you still are in decisive between favourites then surely this is a good thing. Quercus is an amazing spring/summer day scent for subtle long lasting fresh scents. Though, I would normally not pay so much for fragrance the value has been worth it with sparing use and good reviews. So something definitely to consider for a subtle and understated scent.

What I Was Looking For

by Wes

Was looking for a fragrance to replace my usual cologne which had been discontinued. Tried about five different colognes and this was closest. Except I like it better than my old cologne. It's a bit smoother and fresher. I like the patchouli, musk, amber, sandalwood mix. Great for during the day as it's not overpowering, but like it for night, too, for the same reason.

Simply The Best

by Margaret

My son bought Quercus eau de toilette for me for Mothering Sunday. Having had both 'female' and 'male' fragrances from Penhaligon's, I have come to the conclusion I prefer what are considered the 'male' fragrances, although I'm very much female! They are distinctive and not too sweet, and Quercus is simply the best, as it combines spice, citrus and green woodland notes. It has even ousted Blenheim Bouquet as my favourite fragrance in your range. It is, simply the best.

Fell In Love

by Chris

I was at a restaurant in London, and they had the Quercus hand soap. After using it I immediately fell in love with the scent and knew I must have it, so I took a quick picture of the bottle with my phone. The next day I headed straight to the Penhaligons shop and purchased the Quercus cologne, hand soap, and lotion. I am absolutely in love and continue to purchase in the States. The scent is very unique. It's light and citrusy, but has a subtle complexity to it. Although unisex, it's definitely masculine enough for men. Not heavy and overpowering either. Just absolutely beautiful, distinctly British, and unique. Easily something I'd recommend anyone have in their fragrance collection.

A Classic Citrus Twist

by Benjamin

Another home-run by Penhaligon's. This is a lighter fragrance that has a citrusy edge to it. Not as masculine as others that Penhaligon's sells, but that is not to say it is feminine either. If you are not a fan of bold and spicy, Quercus might be a good match.
